After ruling Hell for a thousand years, the devil gathers his three sons to name a sucessor but when he decides to keep the throne, Adrian and Cassius, two of his three sons, decides to leave Hell and make a new Hell on earth. They exit through the gates of Hell, closing them off. With the gates to Hell closed off, the devil starts dying and it is up to Nicky, the devil's third son to save Hell.


As far as Adam Sandler movies go, this one was kind of a flop. This movie never did very good in the theater and as far as I know it didn't do well once it came to video but it is still kinda amusing. Yes, it is one of those stupid comedies, one that I normally wouldn't waste my time on but I like Adam Sandler, so I decided to give it a try.

First, it is a comedy with a love story. I think that a movie like this one should probably be a love story or a comedy but to combine both in this film was a little much. Patricia Arquette plays Valerie, Nicky's love interest. That is quite far fetched because honestly, if any woman, even the most naive would steer clear of someone that looked and dressed like Nicky. He looks like a person that has escaped from the mental hospital and is wandering free on the streets. Even the most kind-hearted of women wouldn't touch Nicky with a ten foot pole.


Other than the obvious plot and story problems (that you will see if you watch the movie), most of the movie is amusing. Sure, some of the movie is like "What the hell am I watching?" but other parts are laugh out loud funny. This movie is the first movie made by Happy Madison productions, so this film lines up the cast of regulars that seem to appear in all of Sandler's movies (you know who they are Rob Schneider, Allen Covert, Peter Dante, and Jonathon Loughran). Not only did the "future regulars" make their appearances in this film but some people I would have never expected to be in a Sandler movie showed up, like Rodney Dangerfield and Quentin Tarantino.


Over all, this movie isn't too bad. If you are a big Sandler fan you should check it out, even if you decide that you don't like it. Like I said, not the best Sandler film but probably worth checking out just so you can decide for yourself if it is any good or not. Pick up with film and don't forget the popcorn!

Caddy Shack

Movie Title-- Caddyshack

Release Year-- 1980

Running Time-- 1 Hour and 38 Minutes

Production Company-- Warner Home Video

Director-- Harold Ramis

Cast-- Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Rodney Dangerfield, Ted Knight, Michael O'Keefe


A young caddy from an overpopulated home pursues a caddy scholarship at the exclusive country club that he works at. While trying to impress Judge Smalls, the top sponsor of the tournament, many antics occur, from explosions in hopes to kill an annoying gopher to the outrageous comedy of an annoying "new money" developer.


OK, so, if I could be completely honest, I did not want to see this film. I am just not really into comedy like this but my husband goes a little crazy every time "Caddyshack" comes up and I tell him that I have never seen it, so I decided to sit down with him and watch it.


This movie really wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. If you are looking for a well developed plot, don't look for it here. As far as the plot goes, they develop it so it goes as far as they need it to while making sure all their comedic sketches are well played out. Honestly Rodney Dangerfield and Chevy Chase are awesome in this film. I am sure I am going to catch a lot of hell over this next statement but I do not like Bill Murray, I am just not a fan of his and so I thought that his role in this film was just pure stupid. Of course, a lot of Murray fans probably want to spit on me right now but like I said, I am just not a big fan of his, so his crazy ground-keeper role was just not a favorite of mine.


My favorite part of the whole movie was the gopher. That funny, dancing, pain in the ass rodent was the most entertaining part of the movie. All in all, this was not a bad movie, just one that I probably wouldn't have chosen on my own. If you are in the mood for a classic, slapstick comedy, this is one you should catch. Until next time, Don't forget the popcorn!

Such a disappointment fans...

Hey guys, so sorry that there has been nothing posted for the last 2 weeks....things have been rough around my place. Personal drama have kept me from viewing any kind of movie, let along write about them. The good news however, is I am ready to jump back into the "movie reviewing business". I have a pretty exciting week lined up....of the movies I have viewed lately none of them have been huge disappointments, only small ones. There will not be a documentary this week, which means if anyone is disappointed in that then perhaps I will watch two documentaries next week, just to make up for it.

Well fans, tomorrow the reviews will start coming back, so be prepared for a lot of reading! Again, leave me any kinds of comments on the blogs that have been posted or leave me suggestions of movies you want to read reviews on. Come back tomorrow and don't forget the popcorn for the review!
